Customer Reviews

an exciting way of reading myths
I loved this book because it gave me a new way of reading folk stories and an understanding of archetypes which really opened up a lot of thought for me. I take issue with the reviewers who claim it is solely a self-help book-it offers a tool for perceiving the world in a freed up imaginitive way...and where is the hatred of men? I can't find any -only a love of humanity and an empowering vision of life lived meaningfully.

Full of Powerful Insights
"Women Who Run With the Wolves" is roughly 500 pages long and well worth reading. It is such astounding to see or rather to understand the concept of legends and myths to bring forth the psyche of the women. There are fifteen chapters in this book, and each of them revealed new stories and they are truly enlightening.

The one story that got me to read and re-read is the "Bluebeard" story, which is really mind-boggling and chilling.

This is very enlightening read and full of powerful insights. And, I do recommend this book to anyone, even men who want to understand their female aspects and the inner nature of women.

Life-enhancing
A wonderful book in which so many wonderful things regarding a woman psyche is revealed and discovered. A must for all woman and really worthwhile when you have your own children. A wonderful and enriching book that can be read and re-read all the time.
